Lords of the Underworld

SO since classes have started I have been reading the Lords of the Underworld series by Gena Showalter. Keep in mind that I did start this series last year, but of course being the avid reader that I am I have a lot of series that I keep up with. SO at the time I was reading JR Ward I'm assuming. So anyways one leads to another and I forgot about it. Now that I don't have any other books coming out I thought it would be a good time to start it over. So its been about 4 weeks I want to so say. Since I had finished What Happened to Goodbye by Sarah Dessen literally the day before classes started, so it has been about 4 weeks. So in 4 weeks I have read The Darkest Night, The Darkest Kiss, The Darkest Pleasure and The Darkest Whisper(which I just finished this afternoon). Now I'm hooked into the story and I want to read about all the boys.

The core of the story is that these men are possessed by demons that were trapped in Pandora's box. The men were guards for the gods, born as warriors, created for the purpose of protecting the gods. They ended up opening the box and releasing the demons. They were unhappy that the gods picked Pandora to guard the box. So as punishment the gods placed the demons into each of the men. Now they are bonded and one cannot be without the other. So of course there has to be some type of villian that makes their lives hell. This group is titled as Hunters, humans set out to kill the worlds. They basically blame the lords for all the bad that has happened in the world. Which of course is wrong since humans have free will, and the lords are not the blame for everything. Now the goal is to find Pandora's box and destroy it. That is the core of the series, we have the bad guys, the warriors that just want to live a semi normal life and the general goal of the series.

Now lets talk about the men book one is Maddox, he is the keeper of Violence. His mate is Ashlyn. Book two is Lucien, he is the keeper of Death and the leader of the men in Budapest. His mate is Anya who also happens to be the goddess of Anarchy(needless to say she is one of my favorites). In book three we have Reyes, he is the keeper of Pain. His mate is Danika, who also is an artifact in helping to find Pandora's box. In book four we have Sabin, he is the keeper of Doubt, he is the leader of the group that separated from the group that went to Budapest. His mate is Gwen who is a Harpy and a good one at that.

Now the rest of the boys who I have yet to read books on :
Aeron: keeper of Wrath
Paris: keeper of Promiscuity
Gideon: keeper of Lies
Amun: keeper of Secrets
Strider: keeper of Defeat
Kane: keeper of Destruction
Cameo: keeper of Misery
Torin: keeper of Disease

There are more but I have yet to read about them. I'm getting really into and making time between my classes and homework. It's also makes me happy to see that my list of books that I've been reading since the beginning of the year is growing.

Now I am on to The Darkest Passion, which is about Aeron (keeper of Wrath). Our heroine in this story is Olivia, and according to the synopsis she is a fallen angel. So I am intrigued to see this plays out. I have a feeling that she is the essence that he has been feeling in the last book.
